The thing that takes my eye the most Il
western civilization is the way the American
moguls make their money. There's nothing
small about them in their grabbing desires,
their ability to make millions upon nothing,
and the remarkably civilized way they are
allowed to do it takes the heathen's eye. Il
that fnanciering secret is introduced into
China by missionary Ike Count Mitkie-
wicz, of the Chinese banking syndicate, the

troublesome social and political problem Of
Chinese immigration would be thing of the
past.

To turn to more serious things, L confess I
do not understand why, for matter OF mere
existence, civilized people so cruelty and per

day to day, even through the night under the
electric blaze, they engage in a Wild struggle
for existence, when heaven has made the
earth TO give forth her abundance Tor their

fall by the roadside. Misery is desperate and
crime rampant, and the few successful in
their financial and social aims drop of" just
as they are all ready to enjoy life. Look at
lower Broadway during business hours on
any day, especially in and about Fulton
street. Why, the intensity Of the struggle
for worldly existence as manifested there is
simply enough to freeze the nerves Of any

THE MODERN GREEK.
Seen to Best Advantage not in Athens,
but in Constantinople.

From the Fortnightly ReuieW.
Nobody who has known Athens for long,
or who knows the real resources of the
country of which she is the capital. can be
disappointed with the progress made. Few
cities have improved more during the last
twenty years. The government has intro
duced compulsory education on most ex-
tensive scale; railroads are being opened !;
drainage and the planting of trees have
received great attention, and the sudden
breeze of patriotism which has lately passed
over Greece and puzzled Europe will doubt
less bear its fruits in greater unity of pur
pose. Perhaps the real evil which more
than anything else has checked the progress
of Greece during the last half-century has
been its constitutional government.
There are many Cavous in Greece.
Tricoupis is a Cavour with English ideas;
but unfortunately Greece is not ruled over
by Victor Emmanuel, nor has she yet
produced a Garibaldi. Everybody in the
small kingdom is, as of old, a politician, and
the consequence of this is that ministries
rise and fall, and elections take place with
rapidity which might even astonish us.
The one point on which all Greeks are
agreed, and which has been taught them by
late events, is this, that if ever they are to
hold their own in the Balkan peninsula they
must have more territory. They crave for
the fertile plains of Epirus and Macedonia,
Tor something that will give them chance
OF development and the means of existence
on a large scale. The place where the
Greek is seen to the greatest advantage is
not at Athens, where mass meetings
will one day cheer for Delyanns and the
next for Tricoupis, but at Constantinople.
There he is, so to speak, on the defensive,
living in the midst of the great destroyer of
his race and freedom. Here his commercial
propensities and industry have brought him
TO the fore.
The ''unspeakable Turk" who loves
money, but hates making it as bitterly as
he hates the Greek, who can make it, has
given him in return for money everything
that he asks. This has enabled the Greeks
to attack the Turks with the above men
toned weapon of education. Concessions
for Greek schools all over the rotten empire
have been literally bought; there is scarcely
a Greek village in Macedonia, Epirus, the
islands and the coast villages of Asia Minor
which has not been supplied with schools
for both girls and boys, either through the
muniticence of rich Greeks or through the
clerical and monastic influence which in its
day has played so valiant part in the con-
servation of Hellenic language and the
Christian religion.

"M-m-m-nl-ister, did a Teddy buy cat to-
dayg" said Mickey wishing that he was
safely down in the street.
Eyes, presume great many ladies have
been foolish enough to buy cats to-day.
But you get out of here, or I'll set the dog
on you"
The door slammed in the boys face, and
he was half tempted to give up the search.
His courage return d, however, and at the
next house the servant came to the door
who tod him that she thought tue folks
next door had bought new cat.

taking his savings bank out Of his pocket.
''Yis, | think twas a white wan, wild a

pretty little girl came to the door After
brief parley with the visitor. she ran back
into the sitting room and exclaimed:
Mamma, here's an Irish boy after our
cat."

the air, and the lost car lit upon bis shoulder
and began to rub her damp nose against his
face Mickey clasped her in his arms and
buried his face in her soft fur. Then no
unbultoned his vest and placed her snugly

between the buttons. He looked around
toward the door, and had made sten in
that direction, when his native mani IS
restrained him.

accounts of numerous smaller parties

combination of business and pleasure
